city was really trending in the right direction in the first half of the 2010’s
Back when Third street was a thing and doing well. How is downtown these days compared with back then?
Around 2006 or so, Roux House and Boudreaux and Thibodaux’s were always packed.

It’s almost back to its pre-Katrina level of ghost town status. Mayor Broome ordered BRPD to enforce open-container laws on 3rd Street to get back at John Delgado for attempting to organize a recall initiative against her. It killed Delgado’s bars, as well as many others, and caused the crowds of young 20-something girls to go elsewhere (mostly the overpass) because they could no longer bar hop carrying drinks.
Happy’s is still going strong, but most of the other bars are seriously struggling to draw crowds. Even B&T’s. Over half the bars from 2015 have gone out of business and either reopened under new owners and new names or closed for good.
